The Disdain of Total Equality Total equality may seem fair and justifiable in the eyes of some people, but in many cases it turns out to be little more than a form of oppression, in which a group of people limit the abilities of others. Throughout the story Vonnegut speaks of this necessity for equality and the means that the government goes to achieve it by using devices called ‘handicaps’; one example of this is George’s earpiece, “A buzzer sounded in George’s head. His thoughts fled in panic, like bandits from a burglar alarm.” Vonnegut’s simile here creates a sort of loud diction, which expresses the sheer discomfort invoked by these restraints on the person wearing them. The governing body in this society views this as the solution to a problem, one that happens to be relatively impossible to solve, this is how Vonnegut incorporates satire into his story. He is poking fun at the age old concept of ‘equality,’ one that has inspired wars and movements alike; he accomplishes this by creating a system to make everyone equal, a system that happens to be just as stupid as the idea of ‘total equality.’ Under this system equality is achieved, but it is at the cost of individual freedom and a society full of stupid people, this in-turn creates the situational irony found in the story.
If a judge has given a verdict, rendered a decision, granted a written judgment, and afterward has altered his judgment, that judge shall be prosecuted for altering the judgment he gave and shall pay twelvefold the penalty laid down in that judgment. Further, he shall be publicly expelled from his judgment-seat and shall not return nor take his seat with the judges at a trial. This law is similar to the law of the 9th
American Translation– This law means if you blame someone for a crime you have to arrest them, if you can’t prove they committed the crime, you will be executed. I think this law is bad because it’s wrong, If you blame someone for something and you really think they did it arrest them, yes, but if you can’t prove they committed the crime or have no evidence that they did it then set them free and try to find more evidence that the first person committed the crime, there’s no need to put a person to death because they can’t prove that someone
It almost leads us to question Henry’s morals if he is willing to kill infants. Although we assume that Henry is just playing up what will happen because he hasn’t lost control of them yet we have to play with the notion that Henry isn’t on as high of a moral ground as we thought even though it might be a just ground. This speech also uses a lot more detail to describe certain events than the other two speeches. He vividly states, “ the blind and bloody soldier with foul hand defile the locks of your shrill-shrieking daughters:”(34-35). This is very detailed and horrific because he is saying he won’t be able to stop his soldiers from raping the women in the city.
Underreporting occurs due to individuals being dishonest regarding their behavior, therefore causing an error in the research done. A possible solution to this limitation is focusing on observed behavior, and correlating the findings with the self-reporting behavior, therefore developing a conclusion that is more in-depth. Furthermore, Article 2 emphasized that other factors can influence self-labeling as a victim in relation to work-place bullying, not just anxiety and anger. In addition, discovering a moderation effect regarding negative acts of violence and self-labeling is hard to discover due to the psychological way an individual may experience an event. Lastly, Article 3 honed on the lack of variances of deviant behavior.
Young Goodman Brown acts the way he did because of experience. This town acts the way they do based on tradition. The similarities between their behaviors are so uncanny that you can understand why it is so important for a Christian to continue to fill their spiritual life with the right stuff each day. What if just one person decided to talk to Young Goodman Brown about his experience? What if one person decided to stop the Lottery and explain how primitive it is to murder someone for the sake of entertainment?
It could also be a chivalrous gesture against an evil tyrant, even if it is not sincere like in “A & P” by John Updike. “Quote here.” (Updike). Any point in a story where two or more characters have opposite goals that they are trying to accomplish, and it creates a problem for the characters involved. Every character has a Voice in which they speak, and a Point of View in which they see the events of the story and think about them. There is no way to have a story without keeping each character's voice and opinion unique.
Action is a principle the oppressors’ hold dear to their heart. These oppressors, in using action, become a majority and if that majority is not met with action from the minority, tyranny will be displayed in the streets, for Gods and man alike to witness. Surely you can relate to this, cramped in a jail cell like a mind stripped of all learned knowledge. What good are great minds like yours and mine if we cannot express our thoughts without fear from the laws of man? I humbly bow to your attempt to challenge man to think beyond their own beliefs by simply questioning just what their beliefs are.
A borderline personality disorder can affect personal relationships because it can make you idealize someone at one moment and then dramatically swing to hatred over minor misunderstandings. You may see things as either white or black and no gray areas in between. Part 2: Borderline Personality Disorder Causes What exactly causes borderline personality disorder remains unclear. Experts believe there may be abnormalities in how brain chemicals control one’s moods. It also tends to run in some families.
If we do not show these freedoms to people of other countries, then we do our whole country a dishonor. Torture to an enemy of the United States by the military or by any of the other Agencies is wrong and against our own laws and treaties. Our own military’s lawyers have even expressed concern over the use of torture of prisoners. The Judge Advocacy General’s Corps
